Nissan Repair: 95 nissan maxima stalls, nissan maxima, gas filter


Question
i have a 95 maxima and it stalls intermitantly while driving and when idle. sometimes it feels like there is a lot of hesitation when i am driving, almost like it is not getting gas, but when idleing it will shut off sometimes without hesitation or a rough idle, also it is hard to restart sometimes. i have changed the plugs and the gas filter. i also have an air conditioner. the problem is very intermitant and does not happen everytime i drive the car, and sometimes when i do drive it it will happen three or four times.

Answer
Aaron,

It sounds like the coils are failing.  If you have an intermittent stalling condition it is usually related to electrical.  I would first check the coil output and make sure that you are getting sufficient spark.  If the coil checks out ok then I would be looking at the fuel pressure.  Lastly, though it is rare, I would check the ignition relay and see that is is working properly.
